One-liners you don’t want to miss:
“If you’re not having an animal protein in your meal, really you need to be having one cup of legumes. This would be assuming you are having no other protein sources which is not what the typical Australian is doing.”
“When I use dried legumes I don’t even measure. I rinse them, pour them into a bowl, cover it with water and leave it overnight. It takes less than 30 seconds to set this up and they are ready the next day.”
“Studies have shown that one meat-free meal per week could save $40 per month off your grocery bill.”
